Allen Onyema, the CEO of Airpeace, has kicked at the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for appointing a foreign coach to lead the national team.
Jose Peseiro’s contract with the Super Eagles expired in February, so they are currently without a handler.
For the team’s friendly matches against Ghana and Mali during this international break, former international Finidi George has been named interim manager.
Super Eagles fan Onyema warned the NFF against selecting a foreign coach over a local candidate.
He told City People Online: “I don’t see the reason why we cannot have a look into the country and get somebody out there that will take on the Super Eagles. As far as I am concerned, Eguavoen succeeded to some level.
“A lot of them succeeded. The truth is that when a foreign coach bows out from the group stage, nobody talks; when a Nigerian coach bows out from Quarterfinals or semi-finals, oh, if it had been a foreign coach, we would have won the cup.
“Nobody gives Nigerian coaches a chance. Nigerians should rise up against any NFF that goes again to get any idiot as a foreign coach.”
